Salto Uruguay Fishing

Where is Salto and why have I never heard of fishing in Uruguay?

First, Uruguay is a small, quiet country. One of the least corrupt and most peaceful countries in South America. The bird hunting as taken off like a rocket ship but the fishing is a part of the Uruguay culture and history, especially for residents of Salto, Uruguay. Salto is located in the northwest border of Uruguay, the "rio" or river separates Uruguay from Argentina, so you will often see both Argentineans and Uruguayan anglers enjoying the freshwater fishing for the Golden Dorado.

The river is not over fished, since there are few guides and boats that have access to the zones that are home to the LARGE Golden Dorado.

Fishing - Or Fish & Hunt

Dorado fishing is an adventure and an exciting fishing trip. You can combine the Uruguay dorado fishing with dove hunting or even dove and Perdiz hunting for a great combo hunting/fishing trip or how Los Gauchos likes to call it the Los Gauchos Cast and Blast.

Dove hunting is not limited to seasons - anytime dove hunting is available in Uruguay and the limits are - NONE. Or after a day of shooting, you will see the limit is a TON of doves in Uruguay.
The Golden dorado fishing is a Catch and Release program. However, we encourage you to ask the hotel or guide about local cafes and chefs that cook the golden dorado. It is an excellent fish on the table.
